Nominations

Candidates can only be nominated for this prize by their supervisor. The Master’s thesis must relate to research in the field of chemistry, life sciences, process technology or (bio-)molecular sciences carried out as part of a degree programme at a university in the Netherlands. Non-Dutch candidates are also eligible for the award. A jury appointed by the KNCV will review the candidates and the submitted Master’s theses.

To nominate a candidate for the award, please submit:

Two copies of the Master’s thesis.

A short statement from the supervisor(s) explaining why the student should be considered for the award. Provide specific examples that support the award criteria (importance and quality of the research, self-reliance of the candidate while conducting his research project). Note: this is required!
